Black & White Sunday: The Giant of St Michael’s Mount

I posted this pic in colour, a while ago, but thought I’d do a B&W for Paula’s Sunday Challenge. The Giant’s face is a lichen-covered rock formation at St. Michael’s Mount in Cornwall. Cormoran , the mythical giant of Cornish folk-lore is said to have once lived on the Mount, wading ashore at night, to steal cows and sheep from the villagers’ fields. He also appears in the English fairytale, “Jack the Giant Killer” and was the first giant to be slain by the hero, Jack.

You have, and I still love it! Since that seems to be my main function in life. I can’t help it! :)I would have been unbearable if I’d been as gorgeous, brilliant, rich, etc as I wanted to be. I would have nothing at which to poke good clean fun. I guess I would have had to resort to dirty jokes! 🙂

This is magnificent Sylvia 🙂 I have never heard of him before. Who knows maybe some day I will meet him in person. Wonderful angle to shoot him 😀 Your participation is greeted with gratitude and enthusiasm 🙂
